A man is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he comes upon a
preacher baptising people in the river. The drunk proceeds to walk into the
water and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns
around and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he
asks the drunk, “Are you ready to find Jesus?” The drunk answers, “Yes,
ok, I will.”
So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water, then pulls him up
and asks the drunk, “Brother, have you found Jesus?”
The drunk replies “No, I haven’t found Jesus.”
The preacher shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again for
a little longer this time. He again pulls him out of the water and asks
again, “Have you found Jesus, my brother?”
The drunk again answers, “No, I haven’t found Jesus.”
By this time the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the man in water
again, but this time holds him down for about 30 seconds and when the drunk
begins kicking his arms and legs he pulls him up. The preacher again
asks the drunk, “For the love of God, have you found Jesus?”
The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the
preacher,
“Are you sure this is where he fell in?”
